Police have recently rounded up two Salisbury men involved in an April home invasion of a co-worker, according to district court filings.

The victim of the April 10 home invasion quickly identified the two suspects because he worked with them at a Perdue plant in Salisbury, state police said.

On April 11, the victim reported to the Snow Hill Police Department that he had been robbed the prior evening in the 400 block of Covington Street of three laptops, an iPhone, his coin jar, a bottle of Hennessy and various debit cards. He told an officer that his friend, 24-year-old Ivan Cervantes of Westover Drive, had texted him about buying a laptop, according to Snow Hill District Court filings.

The victim, who had sold electronics on the side to Cervantes in the past, told him to come over. Five minutes later, Cervantes entered the victim's home with their co-worker, 25-year-old Garry E. Mosley Jr. of Rose Street, police said. When the victim leaned over to show Cervantes the laptops, police said Mosley pressed a pistol against his temple.

The gun caused the victim to freeze up, much to the irritation of Mosley, who promptly pistol whipped the victim across the forehead, lower court filings state.

Cervantes and Mosley quickly grabbed up the loot and fled the home, according to police. Subsequent investigation on the part of the victim helped the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations — which received the case in mid-July — identify Mosley as a suspect, charging papers show.

Authorities took Cervantes into custody on July 28 and he was charged in Snow Hill District Court with first-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary, theft between $1,000 and $10,000 in value and conspiracy to commit theft between $1,000 and $10,000 in value. He is currently free on $20,000 bond.

Wicomico County police took Mosley in on Aug. 1 in the 700 block of Delaware Avenue, according to another filing. At the time of his arrest, within 1,000 feet of Chipman Elementary School, police say Mosley had 10 wax papers with heroin and four baggies of crack cocaine on him. He also had a small knife concealed in a necklace, filings show.

Mosely is facing nine charges, including armed robbery and home invasion, in Worcester County and five charges in Wicomico County, mostly related to narcotics distribution. Between the two cases, he is being held on $140,000 bond.
